Will You Marry Me, Again by Pear Heart

Chapter 227 I’m Here

Hope nodded, “When we’re on set, the cast and the film crew would usually gossip about industry affairs. There were a lot of unfavorable rumors about Victor. The celebrities in his company aren’t exactly open about it, but the rumors always find a way yout to us.”

Hope cast her mind back to the rumors she had heard and said, “Victor mismanaged the A–list Actors‘ resources. For instance, if one of them has to endorse a certain popular brand, he’d force his client to feature another actor or actress who isn’t as famous to pit them against each other.

“It wasn’t a fair fight most of the time. When we pushed for details, all we had to go on were the expressions on people’s faces. They were very secretive. Maybe there’s a unwritten code of silence…

Maia blinked while listening to Hope.

“Furthermore, one of my celebrity friends told me about her experience in Mykonos Studio when she was a trainee. Victor used to take advantage of her.

“He even asked his secretary to tell her that he could give her a leg up in the industry if she let him have his way with her. She had a hot temper, though, so she slapped him right then and there…”

Maia was surprised to hear that. She laughed and said, “He had it coming!”

Hope nodded. “Victor’s personal life isn’t a bed of roses either. Rumor has it that it’s a mess, but Mykonos Studio is a big player in the industry so he has some strong backing too.

“Some celebrities think that putting out for him is the only path to success.” Hope sighed.

Maia frowned. She understood that it was common to run into such twisted people in every industry, but understanding it and accepting it were two very different things.

“Follow the lead Hope gave us, Buck. We’re not just taking out Victor for our own benefit, but also for the sake of everyone who has fallen victim to him.”

In a way, it reflected what she said in the past.

“I’m here. Everything’s going to be fine.”
